Introduction
Soil and Water Conservation Engineering
The Ph.D. programme in Soil and Water Conservation Engineering (SWCE) is a research-intensive doctoral course that focuses on sustainable soil and water resource management. The department plays a vital role in solving challenges related to erosion, irrigation, watershed hydrology, and climate change impact.
Why this Programme?
- To develop expert researchersin hydrology, climate adaptation, erosion control, and watershed modeling
- To prepare students for academic, policy, and consultancycareers
- To foster innovation and collaborative research in soil and water conservation at global standards
Get Started
Aim of the Programme
This program deals with engineering principles involved in Soil and Water conservation, Groundwater, Watershed management, Hydro-logical modelling, Remote sensing and Geographical Information system.
Application and Admission
Interested in taking part in the program of Soil and Water Conservation Engineering. Find out more about the specific Admission requirements and the application procedures from our official website (https://www.pjtau.edu.in/). If you doubt whether admission is possible, feel welcome to apply online. The Admission Committee will check your admissibility.
Future Career
Students get inspired during their research work to pursue their doctoral program. During their study program they prepare themselves for ICAR NET /UGC NET /GATE exam and they get cleared with good grade. They also get through ICAR JRF/SRF for entering any SAU’S with Scholarship or Stipend during their program. They also prepare for becoming ARS (Agricultural Research Scientists). Post Graduates are currently working in Agricultural and Agricultural Engineering Colleges as Teaching Faculty, Research Associates. They also work in irrigation companies and landscaping in India and abroad.
